So where does Luongo end up? (Keep All Luongo Proposals Here!)
It's unfortunate he'll end up taking the fall if the Kings finish this series off.... other then throw a boat load of money at Hamhuis and Ballard, gillis never really did much to improve the canuck defence. Plus the upside of Kassian is considerably lower then that of Hodgkins or whatever his name is. And if they end up losing Scheider this summer (another mismanaged asset IMO), it'll just put even more grief on Luongo's shoulder's.....

My guess is something like Nash for Luongo.....[/QUOTE]
Did you miss the asking price for Nash??? CBJ would never consider that deal unless there was a pile of ++++ after Luongo's name.

Well we saw how the asking price panned out in the weeks leading up to the trade deadline...
At the end of the day, IMO CLB is going to need a star back in any Nash deal to please the masses. That star power is not likely to come with a contract much different then Nash'.
The way these playoffs are going already you'd have to think Schneider will get the nod for game 3. If he excels, there is no point in keeping Luongo any longer. He's been given his shot time and time again. It's just not working out in Vancouver come playoffs.
This is a hypothetical thread so don't get all pissy screaming at me saying I don't know anything about Vancouver. Just an outsider's observations.
What are reasonable destinations for Luongo? I know I'd be scared if he finds his way to Tampa.
He's staying in Vancouver, that contract is hideous.

I won't argue this BUT, the "star" you mention isn't going to be Luongo. While Nash's cap hit is worse, the term is 4 years shorter. Couple that with the fact that Luongo hasn't led his team to the big prize (he was actually blamed last year). Now i know Nash hasn't won a cup either, but can you imagine Luongo playing with the Jackets instead of the Nucks? Pretty sure his season stats would be MUCH MUCH different.
The Leafs will not take on Luongo's contract. Brian Burke would have to go back on his philosophy of long term contracts and the chances of this happening are slim.

He said he'd never structure a contract like that, not that he wouldn't take one on. He was trying to trade for Richards last summer who has a long term contract.
I can see Burke/Nonis going hard for Luongo seeing as Schneider would cost too much and is probably the better option for Vancouver.
For once the Leaf rumors will come true. They are the only team deseprate enough for goaltending who has the money to get him and resources to get him. He's not a great goalie but he would certainly be an upgrade for the leafs....Ps I would throw the money at Schneider instead but that will mean trading off a couple of their redudant forwards or one of their slow defenseman, so Burke will not do it.
If Luongo gets benched and the team plays better with Cory in the net. He should ask to be traded
The team just doesn't play the same way in front of him. Lu has been the best Canuck so far, and blaming him for this series is wrong. Where is our leadership core, or our scoring forwards. Why has all our goals come from our depth forwards

Burke attempted to trade for Carter and Richards both on almost identical deals. The leafs have the financial assets to dump him if his play goes sour as he ages. As of right now, he'd be the best upgrade possible in goal if he is in fact available.
I can't stand seeing him blamed for this series. It's unbearable. His team has been a joke. They allow breakaways after odd man rushes after whatever else you can do wrong. So embarrassing to see him slagged like this. Maybe they should prevent 2 on 0s? Just a thought.
It is sad how they're playing in front of him but the difference being he needs to stop some of those to keep them in and he let's in almost one stinker every other game and he likes to fall down on his gut making it easy to score. The fourth goal last night WTF he thinking?

The Carter and Richards deals are structured very differently than Luongo's. They are 27 and signed for 10 years, not 33 and signed for 10 years.
I don't see BB adding a Luongo style contract until the CBA is settled.
Having wqtched the two games you can hardly blame lou for the losses. If his team would quit trying to win the diving competiton and start playing hockey they might be able to take advantage of his play and win a game.
Also as far as trading him, that will be tough but he is playing well so maybe some team would be willing to swap a big contract for another. But lou must want to play there since he has a ntc, and my guess that list would be small.
